Oil Lea-Update

Here is the scoop....I replaced the oil sending unit and it greatly increased my oil pressure but it did not stop the leak..........So im in the process of changing the rear main seal and hopefully that will fix the problem.........

any comments????????

how bad is the leak?

how bad is the leak?






Well..........it's not to bad but it does leave a small puddle underneath the car when parked....Im thinking its the rear main seal..................

OK, I only ask because a lot of Camaros have oil leaks, it's pretty common but if it's bad enough yeah you should have it fixed and the rear main seal is pretty notorious for leaks.

My 95 has a leak also. I've been researching it and it appears that a common problem is a leaking intake manifold. It leaks at the back where the manifold meets the block. There is no gasket for this area. It is sealed using RTV sealant. I may try fixing it next month when I have a few days off. Some other sites saw it's about a 4 or 5 hour job. That's means it will probably take me a day or 2.

Ok....That is the first time someone has mentioned that location where the leak could be coming from....I will have that checked out.....and if they say it is a 4-5 hour job, it will definately take me at least a day or two also.........

Try these sites. They describe the fix for the oil leak at the intake manifold.
